    it's easy for someone to answer another persons questions

    it's harder for someone to see the reality of the situation they're in themselves

    Its best if you get to know the person outside of being online. You can pretend to be whoever online since no one can see you through the computer. However, in real life, he/she can be a totally different person. Perhaps the things he says online can come from somewhere else and its not really him. Look, if you hang with a person outside of the computer, you can see what type of person he truly is and can judge whether you really like this person or not.

    Source(s): my experience, i had a close friendship with this person online but we hardly talk to each other when we meet. When i see him, he feels like a complete stranger to me. Its really disappointing because all the things you talk about online and your feelings are only in your imagination.

    l would not be hanging around with this person if he is selfish...in reality.

    On line he sounds to be taking on a false personality.

    lt's true what they say....you really have to know someone...in the flesh.
